Performing music from his second album Americana (released April 2026), Eddie Gripper tells the story of an 8,000 km hitchhiking journey from Alaska to California, completed in under two months during the summer of 2022. The music captures the vast landscapes and unforgettable moments along the way – from sleeping in the Alaskan wilderness to cycling down Santa Monica Pier – offering a vivid, hopeful, yet unflinching reflection on American life. Eddie Gripper has rapidly established himself as a young contender on the national jazz circuit. The band also features Clem Saynor on Double Bass and Patrick Barrett-Donlon on Drums.
